Abstract: Cottus gobio is considered a fish species of conservation concern within the Vişeu Watershed. The habitats state, usually populated by Cottus gobio within the Maramureş Mountains Nature Park (Vişeu and Bistriţa Aurie watersheds) vary among reduced (34.42%), average (45.91%), and good (19.67%). The excellent conservation status is currently missing for populations of this fish in the Vișeu Basin. Human impact categories were inventoried as inducing the diminishment of Cottus gobio habitats and populations in the researched area in comparison with its natural potential are: minor riverbed morphodynamic changes, liquid and solid natural flow disruption, destruction of riparian tree and shrub vegetation, habitat fragmentation-fish populations isolation, organic/mining pollution activities, fish washing away at floods, and poaching.
